We’re coming down to the wire and every point counts. One of the few positions where you can find good plays in the free agent pool is defense. Over at Razzball, they look at the remaining matchups for defenses including a handy chart outlining the rest of the season. If you don’t have a primary defense that is working for you, or your matchups are bad in the playoffs, maybe you can do some creative matching down the stretch. One suggestion, use Tennessee’s and Arizona’s defenses depending on the week.
Fantasy Playoff Matchups: Defense and Special Teams Count, Too
One lineup I am liking right now is that of Tennessee and Arizona. Both could be on your waiver wire and their schedule together goes a little something like this: Wk 14: STL @ TEN, Wk 15: ARI @ DET, Wk 16: STL @ ARI. Another good possibility is New England. Yes, their pass defense has gone to the dogs, but they have two home games up in the cold vs. Carolina and Jacksonville and one at Buffalo.
Don’t overlook defense/special teams matchups in the playoffs.
